Description
Lynburn is a house dating from the early 17th century, with attics added and corner fireplaces inserted in the late 17th century, along with low 20th-century extensions to the east. It features a timber frame on a brick sill, roughcast exterior, and a steep old red tile roof. The house is two storeys high with attics and consists of three bays, facing north. It has a large external chimney on the east gable and a rear-wall chimney on the west side. The windows are small casements, and there is a gabled porch at the entrance located at the west end of the middle bay. A garage has been created half underground at the right-hand end. Inside, the property has exposed timbers, including an ovolo moulded ceiling beam in the east room, stop-chamfered and stopped beams, cross-beams, jowled posts, double curved tension braces, and a clasped-purlin roof supported by collars.
